We study a steady laminar 2-D MHD viscous incompressible flow over a permeable flat plate with thermal
convective boundary condition and radiation effects. The viscosity and thermal conductivity of fluid are
assumed to vary linearly with temperature. Similarity representation of the governing partial differential
equations is obtained via group method. Similarity equations are then solved numerically by implicit
finite difference technique. Effects of convective heat transfer parameter (b), radiation parameter (R,)
magnetic field parameter (M), the thermal conductivity parameter (S), suction parameter (fw), Prandtl
number (Pr) and Schmidt number (Sc) on the dimensionless axial velocity, temperature, concentration,
wall temperature, the rate of heat transfer and the rate of mass transfer are investigated. Good agreement
is found between the numerical results of the present paper with published result for special case.
